ORBITER: Free spacial flight sim.

Post by MiStEr-T »

ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere.

Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.
But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background.

There is also a great community around it that have created loads of add-ons, ... (with a section in French..)
